[PATCH 7/7] perf lock: account for lock average wait time

From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Sun Sep 08 2013 - 22:19:50 EST


While perf-lock currently reports both the total wait time
and the number of contentions, it doesn't explicitly show
the average wait time. Having this value immediately in the
report can be quite useful when looking into performance issues.

Furthermore, allowing report to sort by averages is another
handy feature to have - and thus do not only print the value, but
add it to the lock_stat structure.
